Chapter 1710
Ave moved her lips, looking up at Queen Julia seated on her throne. “Mother
“Take her away” Chloe interrupted her coldly
“You.”
“One more word, and it’ll be a death sentence.” Chloe’s words came out slowly, each syllable so deliberate that it
sent shivers down the spine Ava’s head buzzed and she glared at Chloe, her voice shrill, “What gives you the right
to do this!“c2
“Well
“Queen Julia Lea’s sudden cry of agony made Chloe stiffen. She turned to see Queen Julia slumped unconscious on
her throne.
Chices face darkened. She swiftly directed her gaze to two guards, “Carry the Queen to her chambers. You go get
the doctors. The rest of you take Becky away, and Nate, bring Jane here”
Having calmly issued her orders, she followed the guards carrying Queen Julia to the nearest lounge
This sudden turn of events left Ava and Barbara looking completely ashen. If word got out that Queen Julia had
fainted, it would be enough to stir up the whole country
More importantly, she passed out from Becky’s direct anger The Queen, beloved by her people after years of ruling
the Y Country, now she got so furious with Becky that she famted
Despite maintaining her health over the years, the Queen’s age could not be denied Years of ruling had taken their
toll, and even though she had taken care of her health, countless minor ailments had accumulated
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow, after Becky’s repeated transgressions, all the energy the Queen had been holding onto collapsed. She lay
unconscious for nearly an hour without any sign of coming around
“She’s such a tough woman, bearing all these burdens for so many years. It’s beyond what most people could
handle. I wonder what kept her going Chice sat quietly on the edge of the bed, listening to Jane’s words and the
eyes staring into Queen Julia fluttered softly. Chloe bit her lower lip, her eyes closed as she took a deep breath
Lea, standing by her side, said gently, “Don’t blame yourself, princess The Queen would blame herself even more if
she knew how you felt.”
Chloe looked up at Lea
“Ever since you left, the Queen has been blaming herself. She feels that if she hadn’t adopted Prin. Ava you and
your mother wouldn’t have suffered as you did She couldn’t forgive herself for lavishing love on them all these
years. When she found out about Princess Yasmine’s death, she really poured all her love for Princess Yasmine into
Ms Ava, even bestowing on her and her daughters the title of princess, despite them not being of royal blood. If you
blame yourself, she might feel even more guilty The Queen loves you very much, and her inner struggle is just as
intense.”
Chloe’s eyes trembled slightly, a lump forming in her throat
Lea sighed. It’s fate”
The room fell silent Jane, a seasoned doctor, couldn’t stand the oppressive atmosphere. It’s just the result of years
of intensive work. As long as she rests and takes care of herself, she’ll be okay It’s not the end of the world, you
know. Can you all stop being so sad?”
“And you, Mrs. Harper, watch your emotions You’ve been very unstable these past few days, you know?!”
Jane’s words caused Chloe to take a hard, deep breath before opening her eyes and looking to Jane to confirm, “So
she’ll be okay if she has a good rest?”
Jane raised an eyebrow. ‘Are you doubting me?”
Chloe’s shoulders relaxed a bit
After a few seconds of silence, she turned to Lea, ‘Should we keep the Queen’s fainting a secret?”
Lea shook her head “There was no deliberate order to cover it up, and the palace is full of people that I’m afraid we
won’t be able to keep it under wraps She sighed. “She’s held on for so many years, and now that you’re back, she
was about to retire. There’s no point in hiding it. In fact, it’s good for her to finally take a break.”
Chloe nodded, falling silent for a moment. “Let it be then.”
Lea looked at her in confusion, unsure of what was going on, but nodded in silence.
The news couldn’t be kept under wraps.
The scandal at Fiona’s birthday party last night had already set tongues wagging. The satirical headlines about
Barbara and Ava were all over the morning papers. By mid–morning, news of Queen Julia’s fainting had spread.
Just as Ava and Barbara had feared, the entire nation was shocked.
“Did something happen?”
“Last night, those two princesses caused a scene at the Dubonnet family’s party. The morning papers didn’t hold
back their satire. The Queen must have found out what we all know”
“Yeah, it was a big deal. They must have had to apologize to the Queen today, right? The Queen must have been
angry.”
They’ve lost all the royal family’s dignity. How could the Queen not be angry?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No, no, no. The news from the palace is that those three have been stripped of their princess titles. The younger
daughter couldn’t stand it and cursed the Queen, saying that she had lived too long and didn’t deserve to be the
Queen of the Y Country. That’s why she fainted.”
“My God, this Becky, damn.”
“And I heard that the new princess had a close call on her way to Fiona’s birthday party yesterday. It was all
arranged by those three.”
All these details somehow circulated throughout the palace and the entire Y Country. In no time at all, the three
women became the hottest topic of conversation.
When dukes and high officials began coming to the palace to inquire about the Queen’s condition, Chloe realized
how much the news had spread. She hadn’t exactly been secretive, but she hadn’t been blatant either She did have
plans, but those were for after her grandmother woke up
However, it didn’t take long for her to figure it out The ever–shrewd Nate had been there, and this had his
fingerprints all over it
She couldn’t help but smirk. With them around, she was spared a lot of trouble. They always knew what her next
move would be
This time, the lesson was harsh enough to strip her and her daughters of so much. Not just their princess titles. No
one knew better than her the bitter taste of a tarnished reputation
Their image that they had built up over the years in Y Country had now spectacularly collapsed, and their network
was inevitably going to take a hit
She had intended to peel them layer by layer, but this time, she had hit them where it hurt.
